Here’s a look at the day ahead for our independent living residents.

Just like every day of the week, today, August 25, is packed with fun activities, programs, food, and more! Crane’s Mill residents really know how to live it up, and have the choices and variety available to truly live an independent lifestyle.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to view the Morris apartment on August 27! It’s fully updated and currently available for immediate occupancy.

Next Wednesday, we continue our Apartment Spotlight series with the Morris – a two bedroom, two bath with den apartment. Over 1,100 square feet, the Morris is perfect for a couple or a single person seeking a larger living area, an oversized screened-in porch, and the luxury of a spare bedroom for guests.

On the west coast, on the very same day in the very same year, Los Angeles music fans greeted The Beatles for a press conference to kick off their first U.S. tour (and second trip to the States). The Cow Palace in San Francisco would play host to the first concert of the tour the next night. The show opened with “Twist and Shout,” and the Fab Four completed their set with “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Long Tall Sally.”

Speaking of “A Hard Day’s Night,” the Beatles film of the same name wore the crown of number one movie at the box office. Truly, the British Invasion was in full swing!

What are your memories from the summer of 1964? We’d love to hear them—click here to send us an email, and we might share your story right here on the Crane’s Mill Courier!

Perhaps the most-read section of all is the center spread, home to the monthly activities calendar. In August, there are over 175 activities for our residents! These programs include many different types of daily exercise classes, live musical performances, outings to movies, plays, and museums, and resident socials (like our tasty Ice Cream Social last week!).

Congratulations to the “Mayor” of Crane’s Mill!

The Crane’s Mill Resident Association recently honored their “Mayor” Charles Farinella, for his contribution to the Resident’s Social Activities. Charlie, as he is fondly called, brought forth the Bocce Court, dancing with the ladies every week, during the weekly dancing hour, has helped in creating “Movie Night” almost every night and oversees the playing of Bingo every week at Crane’s Mill. Charlie moved to Crane’s Mill when the CCRC opened in 1998, and he is still going strong.
